Frequently Asked Questions

 

Which class is best for my child?

We are passionate about giving your child just what he needs, when he needs it. Our research-based curricula grows with your child from infancy through second grade.  Age groups overlap, so if you aren't sure which class is best for your child, feel free to contact me by email at krfucella@gmail.com

How does Kindermusik benefit me as a parent?

You are your child's first and most important teacher.  Therefore, the goal in our classes, in weekly emails and in online posts is to help you learn how to brighten up your everyday routines with the magic of music and movement.  Kindermusik classes welcome you into a supportive environment where parents find warm camaraderie with each other and children develop their first friendships.

How do babies and toddlers benefit from Kindermusik?

Every activity in every lesson has a specific developmental purpose, such as enhancing listening skills, increasing vocabulary, improving physical coordination, introducing pre-math and reading concepts and growing social skills.

Infants are born with billions of nerve cells and a nearly unlimited potential for connections between those nerve cells.  Every time a child has a sensory experience, neural pathways are formed:  the greater the number of neural pathways, the greater the brain power.  This is why rich sensory environments are vital to the brain development of infants and why our classes are full of sounds, sights and movement as well as quiet times for processing and bonding with caregivers.

 


What is your makeup policy?

I offer unlimited make-ups as long as you are currently enrolled in a class.  However, I do not credit your account for missed classes. In other words, you may come to two classes in a week to make up for an absence, but I do not discount upcoming fees for missed classes.

 Kindermusik is truly MORE than just music.  Carla Hannaford, educator, biologist, and author of Smart Moves, put it this way:

"Kindermusik is elegant in its integrated approach to a child's development...The importance of having families working together, where everyone benefits from the sense of belonging, gets directly at the heart of what we, as a society, are needing at this time to raise healthy, loving children...All of this is provided in the Kindermusik program."
